Seroquel

Seroquel, manufactured by AstraZeneca, is an atypical antipsychotic used for the
treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder as well as anxiety disorder,
post-traumatic stress syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and sleep
disorders. Seroquel has been linked to hyperglycemia, diabetes, and
pancreatitis. Patients taking Seroquel should be monitored closely for signs
that they are developing diabetes. Additionally, doctors should carefully
screen patients before prescribing Seroquel, looking at family history for
obesity and diabetes as well as the patient's weight, blood pressure, and
cholesterol levels.
